64: Trade, industry and technology or technology, industry and trade?

Subsequently, they professionally pressed the cameras in their hands, and many reporters immediately wrote down what Lin Chen had just said.

The content Lin Chen spoke was destined to be featured in their newspaper columns; even if it couldn't be the headline, it would still make it into a column, so this was news that needed to be recorded.

Thus, Lin Chen then answered several more questions, some big and some small, with reporters even asking about his childhood experiences.

However, Lin Chen mostly downplayed or glossed over most of the questions, and so, the product launch conference successfully concluded, with the reporters leaving satisfied.

"Pointing at Boda Mobile, Shuguang Technology sells 40,000 phones in three days!"

This was the headline of the Shanghai Daily in Shanghai.

The newspaper prominently reported on the astonishing sales volume created by Shuguang Mobile Phone, discussing whether Shuguang Mobile Phone had the potential to challenge Boda Mobile in the future.

"Following KingKee Mobile, Huaqiangbei once again gives birth to a small giant in the mobile phone industry!"

This was the headline of the Pengcheng Daily.

The Pengcheng Daily introduced Shuguang Technology Company in a detailed article, recounting various events from the company's establishment to the development of the dawn a1 phone.

It described how difficult it was for Lin Chen to develop the dawn a1 phone initially, and how he overcame numerous technical challenges to ultimately carve out a niche.

It can be said that this article greatly affirmed the achievements of Shuguang Technology, calling Shuguang Technology and KingKee Mobile the two emerging mobile phone giants of Pengcheng.

"Daring to claim a future monthly production and sales of millions of phones? The most arrogant man in history!"

This was an article pushed on the homepage of Souhu Portal Website.

The article critically reviewed Lin Chen's unrealistic delusion, claiming that Lin Chen should understand detailed data before fantasizing.

In this article, they explained in detail the current reality that the estimated annual production and sales of domestic mobile phones nationwide are only over 20 million units.

They discussed how difficult it would be to achieve a monthly production of 1 million units and an annual production of 12 million units.

When readers saw the highlighted paragraph from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's estimated production and sales of 20 million units.

All readers of Souhu Portal Website felt that Lin Chen was indeed exaggerating, and had a tendency to boast without basis, so many readers even labeled Lin Chen as a "King of Boasting."

After all, the entire domestic mobile phone market's estimated annual sales are only over 20 million units, and you dare to claim a monthly production and sales of 1 million units, or 12 million units a year.

Doesn't this mean that for every 10 phones sold in the world, you want to sell 6? This is indeed too exaggerated and too arrogant.

However, controversy means popularity, and in this situation, many people developed even greater curiosity about Shuguang Mobile Phone.

This Shuguang Mobile Phone dares to be so arrogant and conceited, it must have something to rely on, otherwise it wouldn't be so crazy.

Therefore, many people who did not know much about Shuguang Mobile Phone also began to investigate relevant information.

But soon, as they investigated and learned, they all showed surprised expressions, because this Shuguang Mobile Phone could actually play 5 of the Little Tyrant games that were popular throughout the country at the time!

Moreover, this Shuguang Mobile Phone Company indeed has some real capability, having built the world's second phone to pass the SEG Plaza drop test.

In addition, the operating system of this phone is actually a domestic operating system with independent intellectual property rights, possessing independent intellectual property rights from the inside out.

It is not the kind of operating system that claims to be domestic but is actually a reskinned Linux system kernel, and the birth of this system can be said to have broken the foreign monopoly on mobile phone operating systems!

All of these things, as readers learned, they all showed surprised expressions, and then grew even more curious about Shuguang Company.

This company is actually so strong? This truly exceeded their expectations.

If they hadn't understood the relevant information before, these readers would certainly have shown disdain and doubt regarding Lin Chen's claim of a million units per month.

But as they learned more and more about Shuguang Mobile Phone Company, their attitude towards whether Lin Chen could achieve it shifted to skepticism, rather than complete disbelief and disdain.

Of course, those who actually went online to search for relevant information or discussed and learned about Shuguang Technology Company were ultimately a minority.

Therefore, at this time, the majority of people on the internet who did not favor Shuguang Mobile Phone and believed that Shuguang Technology's blind expansion would lead to losses and bankruptcy were still the majority.

Among these, it is worth mentioning that Lin Chen's prophetic remarks that day, after being reported by the famous Sina Portal Website, also caused a debate on Tianya Forum.

This debate was about whether Lin Chen's prophecy was true, and whether the future mobile phone market would develop as Lin Chen predicted.

Soon, as they discussed, a core question unconsciously emerged in their discussions: which was more important, "technology-industry-trade" or "trade-industry-technology."

Ultimately, neither side could convince the other, but judging by the current number of supporters, "trade-industry-technology" had the majority of supporters, while "technology-industry-trade" had only a few supporters.

Because supporters of "trade-industry-technology" believed that trade profits must come first before one can afford to play with technology, arguing that insufficient funds would lead to stillbirth if most funds were placed in research and development.

However, the supporters of the "trade-industry-technology" faction, while discussing, overlooked a fact: the essence of a businessman is to seek profit!

The essence of developing technology is to burn money, it is to invest large current profits into an uncertain future, and this burning of money can cause pain and headaches for bosses.

Supporters of "trade-industry-technology" ignored human nature, ignored the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, for example, Lenovo Company originally advocated the trade-industry-technology route.

But history will expose the true colors of capitalists. Until 2023 in later generations, did Lenovo Company produce anything significant?

If you think carefully, you will find that Lenovo Company has no right to bear the name of Xia Academy of Sciences!

Therefore, the bosses who advocate trade-industry-technology will eventually betray their original ideals. Trade will have a start, industry will have a start, but that technology will always be half-dead.

Conversely, the faction advocating technology-industry-trade, although starting with difficulty, as long as there is a slight improvement, they tend to become stronger and stronger, eventually becoming great enterprises.

For example, Huawei Technology Company, DJI drones...

However, none of these concerned Lin Chen; what he cared about was how to achieve his small goal of producing 1 million units per month.

Of course, it is unrealistic to achieve this small goal all at once. The 40,000 phones he sold indeed brought him considerable revenue.

Calculated at an average profit of 400 yuan per dawn a1, 40,000 phones brought him a total profit of 16 million yuan.

But Lin Chen's small goal is to produce 1 million units per month!

A factory producing 1 million units per month is not a simple mobile phone assembly factory, but a large, one-stop factory that includes mobile phone motherboard production, casing manufacturing, and mobile phone assembly.
